Risk analysis – understanding sustainability risks before they become a problem

Climate change, fragile supply chains, and increasing regulatory requirements present significant challenges to companies. Companies that only respond to risks reactively risk incurring high costs, suffering reputational damage, and facing regulatory sanctions.

We make your organization future-proof with sound risk analyses that are methodical, practical, and in line with the requirements of CSRD, ESRS, LkSG, and CSDDD.

Climate risks

Extreme weather events, CO₂ pricing, and new regulations threaten not only individual locations, but also entire business models.

  • Physical risks include damage caused by heat, flooding, or storms.
  • Transitory risks include new regulations, CO₂ costs, and changing market and customer requirements.

We identify your key climate risks, analyze scenarios, and provide the basis for decision-making, enabling you to take timely countermeasures and seize opportunities.

Supply chain risks

Global supply chains are no longer guaranteed. Geopolitical tensions, resource shortages, and human rights violations can threaten your business directly.
The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and the planned Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) are making the obligation to analyze risks binding.
We clarify ESG and human rights risks in your value chain, assess the probability of occurrence and extent of potential damage, and develop practical measures – from supplier evaluations to diversification.

Frequently asked questions

A sustainability risk analysis identifies environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks that can affect a company's business activities. It helps to meet regulatory requirements such as CSRD, ESRS, or LkSG and strengthens resilience to climate change, supply chain disruptions, and reputational risks.

A climate risk analysis assesses physical risks (e.g., damage caused by heat, flooding, or storms) and transitional risks (e.g., CO₂ pricing, new regulations, market changes). This allows companies to specifically manage the impact on locations, business models, and investments.

Climate risks relate to the direct or indirect consequences of climate change on the company, while supply chain risks arise from global dependencies, resource scarcity, or human rights violations. Both types of risk influence ESG reporting and are part of legal due diligence obligations.

Well-founded risk analyses provide the basis for reports in accordance with CSRD, ESRS, and LkSG by systematically recording, evaluating, and documenting risks. They create transparency for supervisory authorities, investors, and stakeholders—and facilitate integration into existing management systems.

A professional risk analysis provides clarity on ESG and climate risks, ensures compliance, and strengthens the confidence of investors and customers. Companies become capable of acting, can minimize risks in a targeted manner, and at the same time take advantage of opportunities for sustainable transformation.
